The 'Mark of the Beast' is another one of those teachings that misses the mark.

Lies verses truth. Who finds it important to discern between them, instead of swallowing up who knows what based on consensus. One of the popular trends is to dismiss certain differences of opinions because they 'aren't matters of salvation'. Yet people will settle on an opinion and then nothing else gets through, or they will argue back and forth to the death over these opinions. The fact that people argue over them means that each camp is convinced it holds the truth of a matter, not just an opinion.

Well then, truth IS most certainly a matter of salvation. And so is how a person treats his fellow man. The character of the beast is often in plain view as people attack each other in their doctrinal battles.

Watch the 'chip' to turn out to be a chip on a shoulder.

Opinion A and Opinion B dual to the death, while the truth is camped out somewhere else entirely.

Truth is crucified at the place of the poll. It's even alluded to in the name of Golgotha (skull, head count, poll), if anyone wishes to track the meaning.

A new update, November 15, from Amir in Kiev: The Russians have admitted officially, politically, that there are Iranians in Syria on the ground, and anything they discuss with Washington does not apply to the Iranians. This is a game changer for Israel, and Amir explains why in the firt half of this video.
